The Summit, to be held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, will be hosted by Brisbane Marketing in conjunction with Foundation Partners, Brisbane Airport Corporation and K&L Gates.

Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said he was delighted that aviation’s key figures would make their way to Brisbane for high-level discussions involving the region’s airline, airport and corporate travel industries.

“This is a great opportunity for delegates to network with key decision-makers in Brisbane and discover our New World City’s aviation, travel and tourism credentials,” he said.

“Brisbane now attracts more than one million international visitors annually and delegates will be able to find out why Brisbane is becoming an increasingly important tourism destination.”

Julieanne Alroe, Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) CEO and Managing Director, said, “BAC is incredibly proud to be co-hosting this important Summit which provides a unique opportunity to showcase our city and state’s world class facilities, services and attractions to key decision makers in the aviation industry.

“The way local government and business is working together to leverage Brisbane and Queensland on the world stage is one of the key reasons events such as this Aviation Summit are attracted to Brisbane. This collaborative approach is critically important in attracting new airlines and services in the future.”
